HOW ALONE THEY CAN GET IT
Munce Times: Many Indiana Democrats are
worried because they not able to have
State organ to compete with the journal. the
and its editors will have to be made over be-
fore they can have the character and respecta-
bilty in their State paper possessed by the Jour
nal
RELY ON THE LEGAL AUTHORITIES.
Charlottesville Star: Now let the government
put stop to Pinkerson's slugeers being shipped
from one part of the country another to put
down strikers Let the local authorities and
the militia maintain order with fewer hired
sassius, and with good government and order
aintained by the proper authority there will
be less chance for Anarchists.
THE APPOINTMENT OF Mr. LAMAR
E,khart News: If Mr. Cleveland persists in
this appointment. he will think the breeze
the battle-fag order gentle zephyr compared
with the storm of indignation that will rage over
the entire North And if the Senate confirms
such appointment woe unto it,
South Bend Times fDem.l Before President
Cleveland dominates Secretary Lamar for Su-
preme Judge, it would be we'll to carefully ex-
anime into the Lamar-Sparks controversy.
There may be some things connected with this
controversy that would render Mr.. Lamars
transfer to the Supreme Bench very undesirable
and distasteful to the people.
TOO MUCH RED AND REBEL FLAG.
Lawrenceburg Press: There is entirely too
much red flag and rebel flag allowed in this
country If man don't like this country he
had better get of it. We have been the
most ienent people in the world with those who
faunt among and worship flags that repre-
sent destruction of our government. There is
such thing being easy too long. Govern
ments are not yet held together by meekly al
lowing the tiger loose. There must still be
'bood and iron" at the bottom, and the Anarch-
lists seem bound TO dig till they develop it in the
sub-stratum of public feeling The red flag and
the rebel flag mean treason, and nothing else.
1t is time we had an end of them.
ART IN THE sTATE-HoTsF
Lafayette Courier: The outer walls of the
State-house grounds at INDIANAPOLIS have been
rendered ridiculously ugly by attempt to
adorn them Rising from the stone caps at the
corners and gateways are metal columns that
have the appearance of having been designed by
an architect while undergoing an attack of
nightmare. They resemble more than anything
else, monster soda fountains, and the SPECTATOR
who tries to study them and to come to some
conclusion as to what they are intended to rep
resent IS oppressed with the constant expecta-
ton of some form appearing from behind these
monuments of nineteenth century art and smil-
lngiy inauiring, What syrup, pleaseP'
THE KIND OF A CAMPAIGN TO MAKE.
Attica Ledger: What we want in 1888 is an
line.
Shelbyvle Republican: The last words of
Senator Hoar in the Massachusetts campaign
are worthy of remembrance: I'VE have got to
the gulf that every American citizen shall cast
his vote in freedom and honor. and have it
counted"
Rensselaer, Republican: The elections of the
present year and of 1886 indicate clearly enough
that an open, aggressive, out-and-out Republic
campaign will easily carry all the old reliably
Republican States, and Indiana, with the right
ticket and right platforms, State and national,
and with Indiana We can elect President with
out New York. In fact. Indiana is coming to be
generally acknowledged as the pivotal State.
Peru Republican: A great battle is yet to be
fought. A great principle is yet to be estab-
lshed: The right of every man, black OF white,
to cast one ballot and have it honestly counted.
This Is the keystone to the arch of the Repub-
anarchy will reign. It is the mission of the
Republican party to see this principle estab-
lished. It will live to see it done and then live
on, coexistent with the Republic.
Winchester herald: The only wav for the Re-
publican party to win is to fight Republican
fight The idea of carrying water both
shoulders and trying to please the hard -shell
radicals and the softshell muewumps is all
bosh. and the party with such management.
ought TO be defeated. A party cannot afford to
be dishonest with itself. If it has an idea. if it
has a principle, let it speak it out in plain old
Augo-SaXon. 1t is no crime to call things by
their right names, even though it may CRATE
npon sensitive ears. Rebellion is rebellion. and
1.-The late unpleasantness," or that sad inter-
ruption." will not suffice to describe it. When
ever we have campaign distinctvely Repub-
lican we win When we don't, we lose.
THE TICKET TO MAKE IT WITH.
Seymour Republican: With Indiana and
lican at their last State election, and the other
Northern States carried by the Republican NOM
inees in s4, the Democrats take the solid
Sonth annex-New York-and go to the devil
with it, as eject President without it.
New Castle Courier: We would not presume
to nominate a full Republican presidential
ticket One name, and that at the head, is all
Indiana will expect But, we suggest simply
that Harrison and Hawley" look we'll together;
the phrase-"Hurrah for Harrison and Haw-
ley" is easily spoken and is peculiarly pleasant
to the ear. and that such ticket would suit the
party none can doubt: neither mugwumps
stalwarts could stand out against that, and
many Democrats would feel like adopting it.
Frankfort Banner: Senator Harrison would
be strong candidate in all the States. If Indi-
ana Republicans would succeed in securing the
nomination they must unite upon one man and
then press his claims United. may win; di-
vided, shall fail. Indiana is absolutely neces-
sary to Republican success. with New York
Democratic No Democrat lives who can carry
Indiana against Senator Benz. Harrison. the
tian gentleman, whose record in war and in
peace ia not marred by blot or blemish, that
no Republican could find ca use for opposing
him.
Lafayette Courier: Instead of being despond
ent the Republicans have every reason for
feeling hopeful Success is within their
reach if they will avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity-if they will abandon the false idea that
New York is necessity and turn their atten-
ton to the other doubtful States we have
merated. With General Harrison a candi-
date for the presidency, and j. X. Hawley for
second place, the defeat of the opposition is
sured more formidable combination is not
possible. Both were soldiers of distinction and
both have shown ability of the highest character
in dealing with questions of national importance
in the Senate of the United States. This is the
opportunity of the Republican party plain as
the sun at midday, and if they do not avail
themselves of 1t, they alone are to blame
Shelbyvile Republican: Harrison and Haw-
ley would be equally acceptable to the Repub
licans of all the States They embody within
themselves those Republican principles which
must constitute the platform of the party next
year and none would doubt the policy of
controlled by Harrison and Haw-
ley. Indeed, it would seem that this ticket
made to order expressly to meet the requirements
of the Repu blcan situation on the eve of the
momentous struggle of 1888. Their nomination
seems to be plainly Indicated by the logic of
events. it would certainly be in accordance
with the fitness of things Unless all signs fail.
